SO DONE WITH THIS PIECE OF JUNK

I have had 37 cars and trucks in my lifetime and about 12 convertibles, but this Camaro has been the biggest disappointment of all of them. 2012 45th soft top.
Im so sick of the alarms ,bells ,safety devises, cheap Chinese parts

1) trunk won't open, top won't cycle, remove tray in trunk Put the tray back, disconnect tray in trunk, trunk won't open, top up yes top down no,
2) start to drive with top down, alarms not secure, tried to find the alarm to throw it in the lake
3) This has been a year i have been trying to fix, I have read every post from here to China on this problem and done everything that was suggested
4) I am at my end and want it gone, biggest piece of crap I have ever owned, 38 sensors, relays, switches, everything goes through the module cant fix anything without going to the Dealer and being violated
5) This where I'm going next unless some one saves me from my stupidity, going to find that alarm noise maker and throw it in the lake and I'm going to remove the trunk release behind the rear seat used with the key and drill a hole in the door jamb and install it there , I have a roll bar and a wind screen and makes it crazzzy to get to it every time this happens

I agree mostly. Car is just so damn heavy and bloated.
I could not get past this after 6 years of ownership. Looks good but man!!
Just a porky pig. I’ve tried to convince myself how good of a car it was, the LS 3 motor etc, but just couldn’t get past the heavy feel of the big bottom girl

Wow JRF, sorry to hear about the difficulties with the top. I had a 2013 2LT and put 100K on that now I have a 2012 SS with over 100K and top is down nearly every chance I get. Never any issues with either car. (oh boy, now I've done it) I am not a track guy or someone who needs to get the most speed out of it on the street. So yes, whiles its big and heavy, its still a great car for my needs.

If you think it's heavy now, wait until the EV version.
